Rioters defied a state of emergency that took effect Wednesday, as they looted and burned two superstores, set fire to a newspaper office and paralyzed France's second-largest city's subway system with a firebomb. However, the number of car burnings a barometer for the unrest dropped sharply, suggesting the movement lost steam.
What the heck kind of logic is that? They try to blow up a subway but because fewer cars were burned it's getting better. :()

Plus, due to laws of economics, the "car supply" is probably getting pretty scarce now - therefore, each one burned has a marinally increasing value.
